            <p>Although this is a free event, we are requesting that people
                <a href="http://sv-gtug-10.eventbrite.com/">register in advance</a>

            <img src="/image/head-description.jpg" width="122" height="25" border="0" alt="Description">
            <p>The <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/">Google AJAX APIs</a> let you implement rich, dynamic features on your existing web sites
                entirely in JavaScript and HTML. Using this family of APIs you can add a map to your site,
                include dynamic search controls, or download and mashup feeds with just a few lines of JavaScript.</p>

            <p>These APIs include the Google Maps API, the Google AJAX Search API, and the Google
                AJAX Feed API as well as some newer ones that allow you to easily translate text
                content, visiualize graphical data and even integrate with other popular AJAX
                libraries including dojo and jQuery. This talk will explore various mashups
                between these APIs and as well as covering how to integrate them with other
                non-Google mashable APIs.</p>

            <p>During the networking hour, we invite our members that develop applications
                using Google Technology to do brief demos of 5 minutes or less. Please contact
                <a href="mailto:van.gtug@gmail.com">Van Riper</a> to indicate your interest to demo your
                stuff. Time permitting, we will include as many demos as possible before the main
                event. Demos of web applications taking advantage of Google AJAX API's
                will be given precedence for this particular meeting.</p>
